The company says that the overall cost of car making is increasing due to costlier components and new emission norms. Due to this, the prices of all the vehicles of petrol-diesel portfolio are being increased. The increased prices will be applicable at the rate of 1.2% on different variants of all the models included in the company's lineup from February 1.
